Later Die State 1811/09 Dime

1811/09 10C JR-1, R.3.--Bent--NCS. AU Details. Medium gray
surfaces with blushes and splashes of mottled blue, violet and
golden-brown iridescence. There is a minor scratch on the back of
Liberty's cap, but no telltale nicks or dents that would account
for the bent planchet. On this later die state, the reverse die has
shattered completely, with additional die cracks through the I of
UNITED to the shield, connecting with earlier die cracks and
extending up to the rim between STATES OF. Heavy die clashing is
seen in the right obverse field from the eagle's wing. An
impressive example of the later die state.Ex: Steve Fischer (March 1983). Envelope Included.(Registry values: N1793) (NGC ID# 236V, PCGS# 4487)
